Alexander Soros Spills On What Its Like To Have A Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Father

In the event that you've always wanted to know about the life of
the son of one of the world's most legendary investors, turn your
attention to the
profile of Alexander Soros published by the New York Times this morning.

For Alexander, son of billionaire investor George Soros, things haven't always been easy.
And with a dad like George Soros—who survived the Holocaust
in hiding, is among the richest men in the world, and has donated
billions to charity—can we really blame him?

The Times tells the story of a son who spent his formative years
with a Nanny, his brother and the staff of the 14-room Soros
estate in Katonah, NY, rarely, if ever, seeing his
father. The young Alexander, we're told by the Times,
was "acutely aware" of the life he was born into, and would have
given anything to be just a regular boy in a regular
"subdivision" where he could play a regular ol' game of football
with the regular neighborhood boys.

As Soros told the Times: “As a kid, all you want to be is
normal,” he said. “When all you’re being fed is vichyssoise, you
want to eat Big Macs like everyone else.”

After years hiding from his wealth, Soros has just recently
emerged as a power-player int he world of Philanthropy, where,
for the first time in his 26 years, he hasn't felt the need to
hide his last name. Soros sits on the board of his father's Open
Society Foundation and started The Alexander Soros Foundation
earlier this year.

Nowadays it's hard to believe that the Big Mac-deprived Alexander
is the same man that was
spotted just last week hosting a charity auction with his
father, joking to hopeful bidders that they too
could “see [his] dad in shorts.”
